I have been slowly transitioning my entire shoe collection to zero drop, natural toe box shoes ever since I was introduced because I have been so impressed by the positive health effects it has had on my body. I am very particular about shoes and have struggled to find a shoe that is both aesthetically pleasing and also promotes foot health. I was very impressed when I initially came across the Free Form shoes. They have a variety of classic leather shoes and boots with natural toe boxes and can be ordered with a 0mm heel drop. I exchanged (multiple) emails with Joey before ordering a pair of suede Chelsea boots. I followed the size guide and although I usually wear a 10.5-11, I was landing at an 8-8.5 on the Free Form size chart. Joey urged me to follow the chart so I ordered both an 8 and an 8.5 in the zero drop Chelsea boots. Although the shipping took longer than I expected, I was extremely impressed when I finally received them in the mail. The materials and craftsmanship were exactly what I was looking for in this type of shoe. However, I did end up returning both pairs. The 8 was too tight and the 8.5 had too much heel slip. I decided that the 8.5 was definitely my size, but I would be better suited in a boot that laced so that I could tighten up the heel slip. Joey has been extremely responsive throughout the whole process. From answering my initial questions to getting me a return label in a timely manner, the communication has been phenomenal. Although I was disappointed the boots did not work out, I will absolutely be ordering again from Free Form.
